Nails in the Shoes
« on: August 21, 2017, 06:51:54 AM »
WTF.... Last year, my tire blew out while it was parked and I was fishing.  I got up to see the rim resting on the pavement.

Same place, but a different parking spot and Steve and I wrapped up a surf trip.  Steve bolts and I notice a flat tire light on my dash!  I got out to see it was half way down.  I hit the gas station and filled it up hoping to get home safely.

The next day the air was still in my tire, so i figured I might have been a fluke and I saw no nail in the tire.  Well, 3 days later and I finally find that FUGGER!!!!



I plugged her and it seems to be holding, but not exactly happy about losing an hour of my weekend to fix because of some.....

Surprised you didn't hear the nail while on the freeway.

Yep.  The tire wasn't off the rim, so no need to call you back.  lol

Worked as a tire monkey in my youth. I do not miss black rubber dust boogers from performing tire repairs all day. Well maybe a little.
